Each of these principles directly relates to the need for a naturopath to collect in-depth information from patients in the initial consultation. The role of a naturopath is to support each patient in their journey toward better health by identifying obstacles to recovery and removing any disturbing factors to allow the Vis Medicatrix Naturae to restore vitalism. The more information gathered in the initial consultation the easier it is to identify the possible underlying causes of a patient’s ill health. This enables the naturopath to make the correct recommendations for healthier lifestyle habits to give the body the right environment and conditions to restore homeostasis. The principle Primum Non Nocere teaches the use of the least invasive methods necessary to allow the body to heal itself.

| | 1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals (Planned: 0 , Completed:0) The anatomy and physiology of the human body explains that muscles are attached to the skeleton. They work like hinges or levers to pull or move particular joints when a muscle contracts, pulling the joint in the direction it is designed to move. Parts of the muscles move antagonistically. Muscles can become slack making movement slower and more difficult. This explains that the human muscles move in command from the brain.

Another reason is so you can share information, this is vital in my work setting because, for example, if a service user begins a new course of antibiotics then the member of staff dealing with this must pass the information on to all other staff to make sure they continue the course of medication. Finally communication is important to allow you to reassure others; if a service user with dementia is becoming distressed due to confusion of where they are for instance, then gentle reassurance is needed to help the situation and make them feel at ease.

Of course, patients should continue to take advantage of whatever treatments their doctor is using, but yoga as a supplement can make the all the difference in the world for how one deals with all the problems they come across in everyday life (Sheng). Specifically, hatha yoga has been mentioned repeatedly. Hatha yoga's moves and postures help improve mood by moving energy through parts of the body where feelings of grief and anger are stored (Weintraub).
